Stummers 2 Sunshine

Practice what you Preach or Preach what you Practice

I LOVE the OCEAN and spending time in the water always makes the day go faster or makes the day longer.  Doing what you love is a great way to spend time.

Today I go to take these boys on a little adventure which is one of my favourite downwinders here on the coast.  It is tricky but when you get the wind and swell right this paddle is one of the best.



On land chat with the boys - talking about regrouping safety having fun.

On the beach checking out the shore break, the set pattern and our way out.

New Steerers paddle for Maki

Kia Kaha Canoes & Paddles from Hawaii sent down something a little special for Woogie's Milestone Birthday.  Something we can use for our OC4 Surfing Canoe Maki.

We were lucky enough to see Dean from Surf Shots on the beach and he stayed around to get some great shots of the boys catching a few little ones

Busy Month of May

Did my first Crossfit Comp a couple of weekends ago Clash of the Coast - Had a great time with a team of Misfits.

Before Comp started

Photo by Jay Clark: who is one of our Crossfit Noosa Members - he has got some great footage over the weekend.  This was during the 2nd event which was a plank hold burpbee over - while the ladies teamed up to transport 20kg up and back on a 100m course.

 During our 3 event - KB swings while two of our team mates run a 200m course.


I have started up my The Ocean Athlete training clinics again - after being away from the sport for a couple of years due to sponsorship commitments, I am back taking groups, clubs and individual training sessions.  If you are keen contact us via email or on the Crossfit Noosa web site.


 I always start off with a beach talk it is the best way to work out just what each member of the group s looking for.  This was a beginners group for down wind paddling - one of the most enjoyable paddles you can do along any coast line with the right technique & coaching.


We hit the water - this may look flat and glassy but no more than 20m away we were in the wind and good little beginner bumps.
